Interior doors were originally painted with oil base paint (so I was told), then were repainted years later with latex paint (so I was told). Within a week, a bump & a scuff here & there.... now the latex paint is peeling off in sheets. You can literally just peel it right off in sheets. However, it's not all coming off so easily. It will be very time consuming to remove it all off by just peeling it off the entire doors. We are talking about maybe 10 doors. Option 1: Buy new primed doors, paint & set new hinges etc, etc. Option 2: Sand blast the latex top coat off Option 3: Use a pressure washer to remove latex top coat Option 4: repaint doors with latex paint still on (some paint peeled off, some not) with oil base primer, then oil base paint. I think sand blasting will ruin the entire the door, wood, finish & all. I think power washing will ruin these interior hollow core interior doors. I think they will water log, swell, eventually rot & come apart. I think buying new doors & having to cut out for the hinges etc is going to be time consuming, not cost effective & a PITA.... more trouble than its worth when considering other options. Option 4 is what three (3) painters have recommend under the circumstances. I don't buy it, but I ain't no painter either. I say, if the latex paint ain't stuck to the existing paint from years ago, its going to continue to peel off, therefore the oil base primer & paint top coats will also peel off with it. Painters insist that putting on a coat of oil base primer, then a coat of oil base paint, should seal the paint/door & the paint shouldn't peel off. In the end, what are your thoughts & suggestions? Buy new doors, sand blast, power wash, or repaint over latex with oil base primer & paint..... or other opinions. I'm up for any reasonable, serious options at this point. Thanks......

I need some advice on best way to paint some fresh stucco patches. Location is Miami Florida so yes very humid and hot this time of the year. Here are a few pictures of the new stucco with and the vertical line textures. The brown color is the existing 40 year old painted stucco, the gray color is the new stucco.

(1) How long should I wait for the fresh stucco to cure before I should primt and paint over it? 1 week? or 28 days like "standard" concrete? (2) Due to the texture, it is going to be difficult to cover the grooves even with a thick nap roller. I am thinking I need to roll on liberally, then a brush to make sure I have total coverage? (3) Would it be better to tint the primer to the finished color to get better results? (4) There is a lot of hype at local home centers on 1 coat prime and paint products. Thoughts? I am going to do multiple coats, was thinking 1 coat of prime plus 2 coats of paint, but would two coats of prime&paint be worse, same, better?
